One funny part of the hunt this past weekend is that we had seen the same buck before. This was to be her first buck and we were trying for a nice one for her room if possible. Anyway we saw this one from a distance and as it came in would hardly stop. It was on the move for rut! It certainly walked around like a local boss and had some broken tines to show.

I am watching though binocs. Finally it presented a broadside within range and I whispered "okay shoot". After a bit it moved and stopped broadside again. And then moved and stopped broad again. "Shoot it!" I whispered. Then Audrey said "I don't have a shot. I can't keep the rifle from moving". I looked over and she she was trembling like a paint shaker. Soon the buck proceeded to leave the area following a doe.

We then slowly put the rifle back away in the blind. She was shaking and could not stop! A real case of buck fever. Anyway she was kind of frustrated but we turned it into something funny and just part of becoming a hunter...a responsible hunter.

The next time the same buck presented itself in a slight quartering broadside during a later hunt at around 100 yds she pulled the trigger and he went about 20 feet.

That is an experience that she will carry with her for her entire life.  She will remember it, and your part in it, long after you are gone.

Quite a gift you have given her.  Good job.

rog where did you guys go that you are already getting deer in rut in the south? Certainly never seen deer over in these parts of the woods start rut before late December at the earliest and most likely about the 2nd week of January.

This was about 1.5 hours West of Fort Worth. They are in rut around here.
